Summary: Wendy plays Sleeping Beauty to Romeo's Prince Charming….

Pairings: Wendy/Romeo, implied Mira/Laxus, implied Gajeel/Levy, Gajeel/Lily friendship, implied Laxus/Thunder God Tribe, Erza/Wendy friendship, brotherly Laxus/Wendy, brotherly Gajeel/Wendy, lots of other friendship feels and Natsu/Lucy.

Author's Note: A couple people really wanted a Rowen Sleeping Beauty fic. So this chapter is dedicated to them and I hope they enjoy it.

"It's exciting, isn't it?" Mirajane said excitedly as she hustled Laxus down the row of seats. The Thunder God Tribe were already eagerly waiting for him having reserved the best seat on the front row for him much to his disgruntlement (he can't wear his headphones and sleep through it like he did with all of their performances), and Mira seemed just as eager to sit him down and watch this incredibly boring play. "Wendy and Romeo putting on a play that they had written and directed by themselves."

"Hn," Laxus grunted.

"Acting is manly!" Elfman agreed on Mira's other side. "As is raising all this money for charity."

Laxus would normally agree but the tickets cost way too much for a charity event that made him suspect a lot of the profit was going to repairs of whatever damage Natsu and Gray might have caused in the last two weeks at the theatre.

"Ooh!" Mira cooed as the lights started to go down. "It's starting!"

Everyone quietened down and settled themselves for some enjoyment (apart from Laxus and by the sound of it Gajeel who was grumbling loudly a couple rows behind). At first, with Gray sitting somewhere in back, it was just simple narration as Wendy and Romeo played being Queen and King accepting gifts on the behalf of the empty cradle.

It was when the three fairies came on the stage that things started to go downhill. Happy was cheerful enough in his green dress and sparkly wand, totally playing up the cuteness factor, while Charle looked her usual self in her puffy pink dress and Lily…..

Well he looked like he would much rather be anywhere but on that stage wearing a blue dress and glitter sprayed onto his wings.

"WHO THE HELL DID THAT TO MY CAT?!" Gajeel bellowed as he stood up. "NO ONE HAS ANY RIGHT TO MAKE HIM GO THROUGH THAT INDIGNITY!"

Lily face-palmed at his partner's outburst. It was humiliating to be dressed like that, yes, but honestly Gajeel made it a hundred times worse. "S-s-sorry!" Wendy stammered, her cheeks bright pink and her eyes bright with tears. "I-I-I just thought it would be nice if all three of the Exceeds were the fairies…."

"Gajeel!" Levy snarled. "Sit down!"

"But-"

"I said sit!"

Sullenly, Gajeel obeyed. "Carry on you guys," Levy encouraged them sweetly, "it's really good so far."

Wendy and Romeo smiled gratefully to Levy. "Aye sir!" Happy agreed cheerfully. "Dear baby," he recited his lines to the empty cradle. "I give you the gift of fish-"

"It's the gift of song," Charle hissed, "Idiot."

"Why would anyone want a gift of song?" Happy asked. "Fish is much tastier!"

Several members of the audience sweat-dropped at that as did Wendy and Romeo, fortunately though, this was when Erza came on stage in her black purgatory armour. "The dark witch!" the three Exceeds gasped melodramatically.

"Fitting," several people muttered.

Erza whirled round to face the audience. "WHAT WAS THAT?!" she bellowed furiously. "I dare whoever said that to come on the stage right now and say it to my face."

(Levy once again had to tug Gajeel back to his seat while Mirajane simply smiled innocently…..yeah no one fell for that.)

"Err….Erza-san?" Wendy tugged at Erza's armour. "Can you wait until after the play?"

Instantly Erza snapped out of her temper at the sight of Wendy's pleading, large, brown eyes. "Of course," she said with gentle regret, "I am sincerely sorry for ruining yours and Romeo's masterpiece, you should hit me in retribution."

"Erm….." Wendy sweat-dropped at that. "No, that's okay. Let's just continue."

The next ten minutes were pure torture as Erza's stage fright decided then to kick in and she stuttered and stammered her whole way through the passage.

When Erza finally finished, everyone was grateful for Gray to announce the interval. There was a race to the bar that instantly died when Cana found out they were only serving juice and snacks. Everyone grudgingly bade their way back to their seats (Gajeel was literally dragged back to his by the ear). Soon enough the play started up again only now Wendy was playing Sleeping Beauty and Romeo was the Prince.

So far the second act went smoothly even when Natsu came on the stage dressed as a dragon and battled with Romeo. He had enthusiastically thrown himself into the role and yet was careful to not burn anything down or break anything (much to Master's relief.) which deserved an applause on its own.

Then came the scene, the one Laxus dreaded the most and the one Mira wanted to see the most.

Wendy laid there, dressed prettily in a silk gown, her hands clutching a posy of paper flowers to her chest as she had her eyes squeezed tight. Romeo came on the stage faking confidence of a prince that had 'slaughtered' the evil dragon as soon as he reached Wendy though the confidence vanished, his cheeks turned bright red, and slowly he leaned in.

Laxus gripped the arms of his sit as he gritted his teeth. Get it over with! He growled inwardly really not wanting to watch the youngest and only female Dragon Slayer to be kissed by Macao's son of all people.

As soon as Romeo's lips land on Wendy/s, Mira gasped excitedly and clutched Laxus' hand. "How romantic!" she whispered excitedly.

Laxus said nothing as he waited.

One Mississippi.

Two Mississippi.

Three Missi- ok, when the hell is Romeo going to remove his lips from Wendy's?!

Laxus' eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he realised that Wendy had now woven her arms round Romeo's neck and was kissing him back!

He tried to stand (and shoot the bastard with electricity) but Mira yanked him down before he got halfway up.

She then whistled loudly which caused everyone else to applaud loudly.

Though despite the enthusiastic applauds of nearly everyone in the theatre it did nothing drown out Gajeel. "Where the hell is Salamander?!" he roared furiously as Levy desperately tried to pull him back into his seat again. "He's supposed to be making sure that that punk doesn't do anything!"

(Natsu was incredibly distracted as the beautiful costume designer slash make-up artist slash stage hand had managed to entice him into a cupboard for a snog. "I did not entice you!" Lucy argued later. "You jumped me mere moments of getting off the stage!")
